Silos In Northeast Iowa
This silo is 90 feet tall and is located on Eagle Avenue in Clayton, County near Luana, Iowa. It is located on one of my Sibling's farm.
This is a scene of a farmer near the Great River Road in Clayton County just North of Guttenberg, Iowa. The area is known as Clayton Ridge. The farmer is engaged in cutting forage for silage which will be stored in the silos in the following pictures.
The silage is used to feed out beef cattle or to provide forage for dairy cattle. Yes, it does ferment in the silos which also allows cattle to digest the forage more efficiently. To learn more about silage please visit:
After reading the link above I am confident that you will have a new appreciation for the role our farmers perform so that we can enjoy fresh dairy products and wonderful beef. A farmer must know a lot and also use a large amount of equipment so that we can enjoy great food each and every day.
